It certainly IS possible that 99.9% of these long sales letters are scams. They make promises they can’t keep. A book is intended to be an educational item not a cash machine. Scam artists make buyers believe they are buying a cash machine, when in reality its just a book.

I think the problem is you’ve just listed the elements common to 99.9% of long sales letters. Of course it’s entirely possible that 99.9% of long sales letters are scams.

I think the key things you’ve mentioned are when they don’t say how you’ll be making money, claim there will be no effort, and “forget” to mention it will be a long hard slog to making decent* money on their scheme.

Nice post, i think i see one of these type adversisements every single day. Oh the joys of the internet! I especially LOLed when I saw the party about “This used to cost 1 billion dollars but now its $197″ I think every single person on the internet uses that damn statement, it must actually work on a few people. BTW thanks for the comment at my blog.
